MOSES is seeking a committed and relational Election Protection Organizer to lead our nonpartisan voter protection efforts during the 2026 election cycle.

The Election Protection Organizer will recruit, train, and mobilize clergy, congregants, and community leaders to serve as nonpartisan election-protection volunteers. This includes coordinating poll monitoring, voter education, and rapid response to voter suppression or barriers at the polls.

This is not just a program role, it is an organizing role rooted in leadership development, relationship-building, and the development of long-term civic infrastructure through our congregations.

Ensure all activities comply with 501(c)(3) guidelines (strictly nonpartisan)

Maintain accurate reports of election protection activity, incidents, and outcomes

Coordinate with MOSES leadership to align with broader civic engagement strategy
